Our tokenomics offerings
We ensure your token is built to survive the bear and thrive in the bull market.
We run stochastic simulations in Machinations to visualise price, revenues, staking, TVL, and other metrics, stress-testing the economy under different market conditions.
We have a six stage approach to design token economies and model token price.
01
Discovery
We start with a deep-dive into your project: the business model, the user types, the growth assumptions, and what the token is actually supposed to do.
02
Economy Design
We design the full token economy based on what we learn. This covers all the key variables discussed in discovery, what the token is used for, and how it is integrated into the business.
03
Policy Creation
We create every formula and numerical input, from fees to staking requirements to rewards, based on deterministic models to ensure incentive alignment and longevity of token price.
04
Modelling and Stress Testing
We model the token price economy under a range of scenarios: strong growth, slow growth, bear & bull market conditions, etc. We test for death spirals, inflationary collapse, and liquidity crises before they happen in the real world.
05
Iteration
Token economics are rarely right on the first draft. We work through revisions with your team until the model is robust and the design is something you can stand behind.
06
Final Documentation
Every engagement ends with a full token economy paper. This covers the complete design, the modelling outputs, and the rationale behind every decision. You own it outright.
Our tokenomics tools
Build a token for the bear,
not just the bull.
Two free tools for serious token design: a master template to structure your economy, and a simulator to model it through the full unlock schedule.
Tool 02 - Free
Free tokenomics template
A ready-made tokenomics table covering allocations, vesting terms, and unlock timelines, the same structure we use when presenting token designs to exchanges and investors. Duplicate it, plug in your numbers, and you have an investor-ready tokenomics overview in minutes.

Frequently asked questions
01
How do you determine the ideal token supply and vesting schedule?
Token supply is irrelevant. What matters is the valuation, with regards to vesting, projected financials, and user growth of your business.
02
Does my project need a dual-token or single-token system?
There is no one answer fits all, however, generally speaking dual-token economies make sense when there is need for a soft and hard currency.
03
How do you prevent "Death Spirals" in token economic design?
We prevent death spirals by anchoring the token to tangible utility and dynamically aligning emission rates with actual network growth, ensuring that value creation always outpaces token inflation.
04
Do you offer post-TGE (Token Generation Event) monitoring and advisory?
Yes, we can work with clients after TGE. This typically includes adjusting token emissions, and modelling the economy to explore potential changes for a V2 economy.
05
Do you use Machinations.io or Python for token modeling and stress testing?
We generally use Machinations when modelling and stress testing economies, and would only recommend Python to well financed businesses with extremely complex economies.
06
What deliverables do I receive after using your Tokenomics Consultancy services?
The deliverables depend on the engagement, but you will always receive a final document with your full token economy and strategy outlined.
07
How much does tokenomics consulting cost?
Design runs $7,500 to $10,000, rising to $15,000 for MiCA-compliant work. Modelling and stress-testing runs $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the complexity of the economy. We also take a small percentage of token supply, set against your valuation, so our payment is tied to the token performing after launch. The full breakdown is in the pricing section above.
08
Can you audit a token that is already live?
Yes. Post-launch audits are common: we review the live economy against real market data, identify where incentives or emissions are working against you, and return severity-ranked findings with fixes that can be applied without a relaunch.
09
Do I need MiCA-compliant tokenomics?
If you plan to offer your token to the public in the EU or list on EU-regulated venues, yes. MiCA ties your token's regulatory classification to its design, so the economy and the white paper have to be built to match the category you fall under: utility token, asset-referenced token, or e-money token. Get the design wrong and the classification, and the offering itself, is at risk.
10
How do we know whether we need an audit or a redesign?
Start with an audit. It tells you whether the economy can be fixed with parameter changes or needs rebuilding; roughly half of our audits conclude with parameter changes rather than a redesign.
11
How long does a tokenomics engagement take?
A standard design and modelling engagement runs 3 to 5 weeks. A single-token economy moves faster; a multi-token system with several interacting incentive loops takes longer, because each loop has to be modelled and stress-tested separately.
12
Do you audit tokenomics that someone else designed?
Yes. Most of the economies we audit were designed by someone else: another consultancy, an in-house team, or a previous advisor. We review the design on its merits and report what holds and what needs to change.
13
What is the difference between tokenomics design and modelling?
Design defines the economy: supply, distribution, vesting, utility, and value accrual. Modelling tests it; we build the economy in Machinations and stress it under different market and demand conditions to see where it breaks before launch. Design is the blueprint, modelling is the wind tunnel.
